Donovan - Jersey Thursday Lyrics






In the tiny piece of coloured glass my love was born
And reds and golds and yellows were the colours in the dawn.
Night brought on it's purple cloak of velvet to the sky
And the girls go willing spinning on Jersey Thursday.
In the tiny piece of coloured glass my love was born
And reds and golds and yellows were the colours in the dawn.
Night brought on it's purple cloak of velvet to the sky
And the girls go willing spinning on Jersey Thursday.

Donovan Jersey Thursday Comments
  1. J.... R....

    Wonderful.

  2. B.... 9....

    i met donovan trough his family before i actually known his music...
    ...now i regret that i haven't talked more to him than i did...and now this is my actual favorite song !!

  3. s.... w....

    Free your mind and your soul will follow.

  4. a.... g....

    nice vid. cool old pix of donny

  5. W.... E....

    The key to understanding consciousness is personalized abstraction. Like Donovan.

  6. R.... B....

    Just a hunch chums but lets keep posting stuff this good, me I cant find new better if you know what I mean

  7. R.... B....

    I love his songs, unlike many others of the time he wrote lots and lots of great songs, me I don't think he had a bad thought in his songs. I think he was and I have no reason to doubt exactly what he said on the sleeve. If you want to be cool in 2018, search him out and post your findings to your friends. Just a hunch chums but I think he is up with Joni M

  8. E.... S....

    the meaning of this song is he takes a tab of acid on thursday. the whole song he is describing how he saw the world.

  9. T.... ....

    lysergic

  10. B.... S....

    Donovan, I love you so much.

  11. T.... C....

    I am 21 years old and have been listening to all this older stuff for at least ten years and I've come to realize I was born in the wrong time era because after the 90's pretty much all music's gone to shit, and so has everything else

    T.... C....

    nah, not really. I'm of that generation, and the only thing you missed musically were the live concerts, which rarely sounded that good in person. Thanks to modern technology and remixing, the quality of the old recordings is better now than it was then. It's all available, and there is so much of it. You probably haven't scratched the surface yet. Keep digging. It was an amazing time for music. Nothing like it, but I'm a little biased.

    T.... C....

    Thomas Crooks you should take a listen to ben howard and jake bugg. 👍

    T.... C....

    well at least you're paying attention

  12. a.... ....

    that first chord sounds like nick drake (just like him [and the melody too])

    a.... ....

    SO you mean Nick Drake stole it? Donovan released this song in 1 early 1965.many years before Drake

    a.... ....

    nah.. i think, yeah, he was influenced by it. listen to 'things behind the sun' and you'll know what i mean. donovan is clearly an influence on his work, i think

    a.... ....

    Well that explains it! I though it was a bit Nick Drake-ish. Nope. Donovanish!

  13. G.... T....

    lovely island Jersey. You r right Einar Celusta. Jersey - North cost of Normandia. Belongs to UK. ;) Channel Islands

    G.... T....

    I think he meant New Jersey the state in which I live. HEH!

  14. G.... ....

    This is just one more thing from New Jersey that is completely AWESOME! I wish I could go to The Jersey Shore so bad.

    G.... ....

    give the guy a break he loves the song and he thinks its somewhere in new york ah bless.

    G.... ....
